Shannon Airport , or Aerfort na Sionna in
Irish is an airport in Ireland. Approx 3.7 million passengers travelled through
Shannon in 2006, making it the second busiest in
Ireland by passenger movements. Shannon Airport is situated in
County Clare in the mid-west region of
Ireland, 15 kilometres (9 miles) from
Limerick City. The airport is operated by the
Dublin Airport Authority. Shannon Airport handles flights from a wide variety of destinations; whilst a growing number of European Destinations are available, the majority of flights are to the
United Kingdom and
United States of America. Shannon and Dublin are the only two European airports with
U.S. border preclearance facilities. It is planned to have US Customs and Agriculture Clearance in place by 2008 allowing passengers to save time upon arrival in the USA. Foreign military use of its facilities has been a cause of concern to Irish popular opinion. Shannon was voted Best Airport in Ireland for the past two years running by the ATUC (Airport Transport Users Council) and Best Airport in Europe in the 1-5 million passengers per annum range in 2006.
